UNIVERSITY  OF  LOUISVILLE, 
Academic  Department, 

115  West  Broadway. 


The  University  does  not  offer  any  courses  in  studies  prepara- 
tory for  college.  There  are  several  good  secondary  schools  in 
Louisville,  and  three  good  public  high  schools,  in  any  of  which 
students  may  receive  adequate  preparation.  Classes  for  beginners 
in  the  ancient  and  modern  languages  are  organized  in  the  col- 
lege, however,  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  may  wish  after  enter- 
ing the  University  to  commence  the  study  of  these  languages, 
but  these  courses  do  not  count  for  honors  and  may  not  be  taken 
to  remove  an  admission  condition.  Undergraduate  and  graduate 
courses  are  offered  in  sixteen  departments.

General  Information, 


The  University. 

The  University  of  Louisville  was  chartered  by  an  act  of  the 
Legislature  of  Kentucky  approved  February  7,  1846,  and  was 
given  power  to  establish  “all  the  departments  of  the  University 
for  the  promotion  of  every  branch  of  science,  literature,  and  the 
liberal  arts.” 

The  Colleges  of  Medicine  and  of  Law  in  the  University  have 
been  in  active  operation  since  that  time.  The  present  Literary 
Department  was  opened  in  September,  1907,  and  comprises  the 
College  of  Liberal  Arts  and  the  Graduate  School  of  Liberal  Arts. 

The  University  of  Louisville  has  about  seven  thousand  alumni 
from  all  of  its  schools. 


Co-Educational. 

The  College  of  Liberal  Arts  is  co-educational.

Requirements  for  Admission. 

A student  is  not  eligible  for  admission  (examinations)  until  he 
has  completed  the  full  course  of  a good  high  school,  or  its  equiva- 
lent. Reckoning  one  year’s  work  of  daily  recitations  for  nine 
calendar  months  as  a unit,  a student  must  be  able  to  show  proper 
credentials  for  eighteen  units  of  such  work  before  he  becomes  a 
candidate  for  admission.  Of  the  eighteen  units  required,  four- 
teen are  prescribed  and  four  are  elective.  The  certificates  of  the 
high  schools  of  Louisville,  New  Albany,  Jeffersonville,  and  others 
of  acceptable  rank  will  admit  the  holder  without  examination. 

1.  Prescribed  subjects,  fourteen  units,  as  follows: 

1.  Mathematics,  three  years,  three  units. 

2.  English  Language  and  Literature,  three  years,  three 

units. 

3.  Six  points,  distributed  between  two  foreign  lan- 

guages. 

4.  Science,  one  year,  one  unit. 

5.  History,  one  year,  one  unit. 

2.  Elective  subjects,  four  units. 

The  four  units  of  elective  subjects  may  be  chosen  from  almost 
any  studies  taught  in  a good  high  school,  either  in  equivalent 
subjects  not  mentioned  in  the  prescribed  list  above,  or  in  advanced 
work  in  the  prescribed  elementary  branches. 

Certificates.  Students  entering  from  other  institutions  must 
have  certificates  of  honorable  dismissal,  and  the  amount  of  work 
done  must  be  properly  certified,  both  as  to  time  and  subjects.  If 
the  admission  requirements  of  the  University  are  satisfied,  and 
if  the  school  from  which  the  certificate  is  offered  belongs  to  the 
class  accredited  by  the  University,  the  candidate  will  be  admitted 
without  examination. 

Conditioned  Students.  In  some  instances  students  who  have 
not  entirely  completed  their  preparatory  work  may  be  admitted 


7 


on  condition  in  the  deficient  subjects,  but  they  must  remove  the 
conditions  by  making  up  the  deficiencies  in  some  preparatory  or 
high  school.  All  admission  conditions  must  be  removed  before 
the  student  enters  upon  the  work  of  the  second  year. 

Special  Students.  Students  of  proper  age  who  desire  work 
in  any  department  of  the  College  of  Liberal  Arts  and  Sciences 
may  be  admitted  as  special  students  upon  the  recommendation 
of  the  head  of  the  department  in  which  work  is  sought.  The 
recommendation  of  the  instructor  is  based  in  each  case  upon  a 
satisfactory  examination  of  the  applicant. 

Advanced  Standing.  To  entitle  a student  to  advanced  stand- 
ing, (1)  a letter  of  honorable  dismissal  from  the  last  institution 
attended,  (2)  a certificate  of  work  in  a college  the  curriculum 
and  entrance  requirements  of  which  are  equal  to  those  of  the 
University,  and  (3)  an  examination  covering  courses  previously 
taken,  are  all  necessary.  In  special  cases  examination  may  not 
be  insisted  on. 


Degrees. 

The  College  of  Liberal  Arts  and  Sciences  offers  three  under- 
graduate courses  and  three  graduate  courses ; the  undergraduate 
courses  are  the  Classical,  the  Philosophical,  and  the  Scientific,  the 
first  two  of  which  lead  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts,  and 
the  last  one  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science. 

The  graduate  courses  are  in  the  Classics,  Science,  and  Phi- 
losophy, and  lead  to  the  degree  of  Master  of  Arts,  Master  of 
Science,  and  Doctor  of  Philosophy,  respectively. 

The  two  courses  leading  to  the  Bachelor's  degree  in  the  arts 
are  practically  equivalent,  and  are  also  equivalent  to  the  course 
leading  to  the  Bachelor’s  degree  in  science.  The  three  courses 
require  almost  the  same  quantity  of  work  and  about  the  same 
amount  of  time,  but  they  differ  somewhat  in  the  character  of 
their  training.  The  undergraduate  classical  and  philosophical 
courses  require  for  completion  four  years  of  work  equivalent  to 
eighteen  hours  a week  each;  the  undergraduate  scientific  course 
requires  four  years  of  twenty  hours  a week,  including  laboratory 
work. 


8 


Of  the  graduate  courses,  the  classical  and  scientific  each  re- 
quire one  year  of  work,  equivalent  to  sixteen  hours  a week  from 
the  Bachelor’s  standing,  and  lead  respectively  to  the  degree  of 
Master  of  Arts  and  Master  of  Science;  the  philosophical  course 
requires  two  years’  work,  together  equivalent  to  thirty-two  hours 
a week  from  the  Master’s  standing,  and  other  special  conditions, 
and  leads  to  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Philosophy. 

In  a general  way,  the  first  two  years’  work  in  all  the  under- 
graduate courses  is  prescribed  and  the  remainder  is  elective ; that 
is,  estimating  the  work  in  an  undergraduate  course  as  sixteen 
units,  eight  units  are  prescribed  and  the  others  are  elective. 
Enough  of  the  fundamental  work  of  the  course  is  prescribed  to 
preserve  its  essential  unity,  while  sufficient  choice  is  permitted  to 
enable  students  to  gratify  individual  tastes  and  purposes. 

The  following  rules  govern  the  granting  of  degrees: 

1.  No  credit  is  given  for  work  done  in  absentia. 

2.  All  candidates  must  be  in  good  standing  in  every  depart- 
ment in  which  credits  are  desired. 

The  Master’s  degree  is  conferred  only  upon  such  candidates 
as  have  attained  the  Bachelor’s  degree  in  this  University,  or  in 
some  other  institution  of  equal  grade. 

4.  A candidate  for  the  Master’s  degree  must  make  an  aver- 
age of  eighty-five  in  every  department  in  which  he  works. 

5.  Candidates  for  a degree  must  spend  at  least  the  last  year 
of  their  course  in  residence  at  the  University. 

6.  No  candidate  is  admitted  to  graduate  courses  without  the 
consent  of  the  Committee  on  Graduate  Courses. 

7.  No  course  counted  for  a baccalaureate  or  professional 
degree  will  be  counted  toward  a Master’s  degree. 

8.  For  the  Master’s  degree  a major  and  at  least  one  minor 
subject,  comprising  a graduate  course  of  work  equivalent  to  six- 
teen hours  a week  for  one  year,  must  be  chosen  by  the  advice 
and  consent  of  the  Committee  on  Graduate  Courses ; and  a thesis, 
approved  by  the  head  of  the  department  in  which  the  major  sub- 
ject is  pursued,  must  be  submitted  not  later  than  one  month 
before  Commencement. 


9 


9.  The  Doctor’s  degree  requires  not  only  a graduate  course 
of  work  equivalent  to  sixteen  hours  a week  for  two  years  from  the 
Master’s  standing,  but  also  special  conditions  satisfied  only  with 
the  consent  of  the  Committee  on  Graduate  Courses. 


Honors. 

Undergraduate  candidates  for  a degree  making  an  average 
of  90  or  more  are  designated  as  honor  students.  The  first  honor 
is  awarded  to  the  honor  student  making  the  highest  average 
mark,  and  this  student  becomes  the  valedictorian;  the  salutatory 
is  awarded  to  the  student  who  is  next  highest  in  rank,  and  the 
class  address  to  the  student  who  ranks  third.

This  Department  is  designed  to  offer  courses,  both  graduate

of  intelligent  appreciation  of  literature,  and  (2)  acquaintance 
with  literary  history.  The  graduate  courses  are  intended  for 
those  who  contemplate  specialization,  and  their  aim  is  to  afford 
familiarity  with  a certain  method  of  scholarly  investigation.
